ConnectedCAM Citroën™

The optional ConnectedCAM Citroën™ featured on MY18 model C3 means you can film spectacular scenery, unusual locations and cityscapes. This new system uses a camera fitted behind the rear-view mirror to film what the driver sees through the car windscreen. It provides a video log of your everyday driving experiences: – Just click to take a photo and share it on social media. The camera films and stores what’s happening in front of you, so it could also provide valuable information in the event of an accident. You can even use it to locate where your car is parked using the ConnectedCAM Citroën™ app.

THE COLOUR COMBINATION OF YOUR CHOICE

The all-new C3 is available in a broad range of colours, including Almond Green, Polar White, Cobalt Blue, Ruby Red, Perla Nera Black and Orange Power. Combine these subtle or punchy colours with contrasting roof colours (Onyx Black, Sport Red, Opal White or body colour) and choose the match that is right for you. These options allow you to liven up a classic colour with a coloured roof, or conversely, to temper a more “pop” body colour with a dark roof. These combinations reinforce the new style and freshness of the C3. So, which C3 will you get?

CASUAL CHIC MATERIALS

The passenger compartment combines loads of refined elements and soft shapes. This harmony is also seen in the coherence of the styling of the doors, seats and dashboard. The same welcoming and bright textiles provide unrivalled and high quality visual continuity.

The interior style is inspired by non-automotive worlds, with touches such as the luggage style door handles and textiles on the dashboard.

EVERYTHING TO MAKE DRIVING EASIER FOR YOU

DETAILS

MORE DESIGN

The floating roof design is one of the stylish trump cards of the all-new Citroën C3. Available in 3 colours, it is supported by black windscreen pillars accentuating the dynamic outline of the C3. The car’s protective character is evident in the balanced proportions between the body panels and the glazed areas. A confident, calm and serene look./expert-advice/

The Airbump® panels (air-filled bumps with a scratch-proof surface, as seen on C4 Cactus) are a Citroën signature feature, offering personality and style, as well as protecting the vehicle.

The thermoplastic polyurethane material used in the Airbump® panels resists everyday degradation, protecting them from sunlight, water, scratches etc.

Each panel positions a line of air-filled bumps at the bottom of the doors to protect the most vulnerable areas of the car in the urban environment. The Airbump® panels also have a white or red graphic motif, depending on the roof colour.

At the front, the two-tier light signature raises the look of the all-new Citroën C3 and reinforces the impression of bonnet height. The chevrons and their chromed double grille extend to the LED daytime-running lights with the circular design headlights below. The protective front bumper blends into the rest of the bodywork to enhance the sense of height and width at the front for a ‘go-anywhere’ look and feel. Coloured inserts surround the fog lights and bring their little touch of freshness!

MORE COMFORT

The all-new Citroën C3 boasts among the finest suspension comfort on the market along with welcoming seats. The onboard acoustics were designed to create a real cocoon effect which filters out the outside world and isolates you from the stresses of the road. As soon as you get inside, you get a real feeling of well-being thanks to the seats, which are both visually and physically comfortable, the optional panoramic glass roof which bathes the passenger compartment in light, and the clever storage compartments. This consistent ensemble immerses you and your passengers in a real bubble. The C3 enables you to feel like you are at home when you are at the wheel.

With Citroën Advanced Comfort®, your car journeys will always be about relaxation and well-being.

The storage compartments have been designed in the most functional way possible. The C3 has a clever central storage compartment which frees up as much space as possible in the front and large storage compartments on the front doors.

The light colour chosen for the interior of these storage compartments contrasts with the items being stored to make it easier to find them. Finally, there is no compromise on luggage space, the C3 has a boot volume of 300 litres.

The passenger compartment combines loads of refined elements and soft shapes. This harmony is also seen in the coherence of the styling of the doors, seats and dashboard. The same welcoming and bright textiles provide unrivalled and high quality visual continuity.

The interior style is inspired by non-automotive worlds, with touches such as the luggage style door handles and textiles on the dashboard.

The all-new Citroën C3 seats are the result of a lot of work. They offer width and generosity to promote comfort, while adopting a modern style. Welcoming and providing good lumbar support, these seats offer top level comfort thanks to the materials that they’re made from.

MORE QUALITY

Thanks to its panoramic sunroof (available as an option), the passengers in the all-new Citroën C3 benefit from exceptional brightness throughout the passenger compartment, which emphasises the feeling of space and openness to the outside. At any moment, the occupants can change the intensity of the brightness by using the sunblind.

On board, you will have the impression of being in your living room! This well-being is reinforced by the horizontal dashboard which gives an impression of space and width of the passenger compartment.

MORE TECHNOLOGY

The optional ConnectedCAM Citroën™ on the all-new C3 means you can film spectacular scenery, unusual locations and cityscape. This new system uses an HD camera fitted behind the rear-view mirror to film what the driver sees through the car windscreen. It provides a video log of your everyday driving experiences: Just click to take a photo and share it on social media. The camera films and stores what’s happening in front of you, so it could also provide valuable information in the event of an accident. In the event of an impact, recording is automatically activated and saves 1 minute 30 seconds (30 seconds before / 1 minute after).

You can even find where you parked your car. The ConnectedCAM’s GPS will send you last recorded position to the ConnectedCAM app on your smartphone.

This system allows you to combat drowsiness or just a momentary lack of attention at the wheel from 60km/h. When the car crosses a white line without the indicator having been activated, the system’s electronic control unit (ECU) triggers a warning. In this way, you are warned by audible beeps and a visual warning when the line is crossed.

When you shift into reverse, the reversing camera displays the rear view of the car on the main screen. This image is enhanced by colour reference points indicating proximity with any obstacles. The system provides a true extended vision making everyday manoeuvres easier!

The system recognises speed limit signs and gives this information to the driver. This speed can be used to set the speed limiter/cruise control. It works across the entire speed range. The system also detects signs indicating the end of the speed limit.

Are you feeling a bit tired? This system tells you when it is time to have a break. The alert is issued after driving for two hours at speeds of over 70km/h. It is repeated for every hour of additional driving without a break.

MORE CONFIDENCE

Underscoring our confidence in the quality and reliability of the Citroën product range, all new Citroën passenger cars (from MY18) now come with a 5 year, unlimited km warranty, alongside 5 year roadside assist.
